Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We have been telling you about how black money is laundered through yearling sales for about a million years now. https://peterprofit.com/?s=money+launder It’s something that has been happening around the world, and should have been obvious to all. Sadly however the authorities seemed to miss it completely, and the breeders who were getting hugely over the […]
About a month ago we wrote a story about the huge amount of money that Harness Racing SA and the SA Breeders Owners Trainers and Reinsperson’s Association were wasting on so-called classic Kindergarted Series for 2YO’s, and after staring into our ever faithful crystal ball we declared that a non-sales entry from the Tonkin/Stewart stable […]
That’s what Kiwi trainer Cran Dalgety said about his $310 000 yearling buy Chicago Bear just after the hammer fell at the NZ Standardbred auction a few years ago. The full brother to Chicago Bull and Perfect Stride must prefer it missionary style, because team Dalgety put the bridle on and banged him on the […]
Debbie Kepitis inherited her father’s billions, and has the right to do with it whatever she likes. So far she has done alright, having been part of the group that owned the world’s greatest ever race mare Winx. Paying $10 million for Winx’s daughter after the ownership syndicate fell apart in acrimony is Mrs Kepitis’s […]
Harness Racing South Australia last year declared it Southern Stars yearling sale an outstanding success, and has done so again this year, but at the risk of the peak body’s CEO Dean Elliott calling this author a fabricator again and declaring shame upon us we have to ask the question: has the sale been any […]
Black Caviar’s son I Am Caviar had his 12th start at the lowly Cranbourne meeting tonight, where he went around for a miserable winners prize of $22 000, the sort of money that neither of his parents would get out of bed in the morning for. The 4yo that would have attracted bids upward of […]
Kevin Seymour AM may well be Australia’s 167th richest man with a fortune of almost $900 million, but gee he has an eye for a high quality bargain priced buy. Seymour paid $47 500 for Leap To Fame, which at age just early 5 has already won $2.76 million, with a heap more to come. […]
It was interesting to observe that the Queensland based thoroughbred syndicator KO Racing didn’t purchase any yearlings at this month’s Magic Millions QTIS sale. Many are speculating that this is because they still owe $760 000 to the auction house from the January sales and with the debt outstanding couldn’t get any further credit. Far […]
The average price per lot in Sydney at $31 570 was a vast improvement on the Gold Coast and Melbourne sales, and really lays down the gauntlet to their rival Nutrien, whose southern sales are still to come. The clearance rate for the sale was 68.87%, comparable with other sales here and across the ditch. […]
It was only a few years back that the leading stud Alabar paid a reputed $2 million to secure the southern hemisphere stallion rights to Ride High, the then boom pacer who had won just a single Group 1. The plan of course was to turn the super fast pacer into a super sire. It […]
